Since getting married, my husband informed me that he likes turkey more than ham. So we now buy turkey from the deli instead of the usual ham I grew up with. I do not mind, because I truly like all the options, but I miss ham every now and then and will even stop by Subway to pick up a ham and cheese sub to satisfy that little ham craving I get every now and then. It is not like I cannot live without ham, I just really enjoy it every now and then.

The kind of ham I really like is a good old fashioned honey spiral ham like the kind you get at Christmas parties. It is thick, juicy and is stuck to the bone. The honey brown sugar coating on it is delicious and I love keeping any leftovers to throw in some soups such as split pea.

Now, the little problem with this ham is that it takes forever to make and occupies my oven for quite a while, which is kind of annoying. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I have found the solution to that: slow cooker honey ham. It is juicy and delicious, just as if it were out of the oven!

When I first heard about this recipe, I thought that it will not be the type of dessert that my family will love. It’s lemon and it’s sour cream on one dish. It feels as if when they combine, it will be an acquired taste. I mean technically, they’re both sour. Lemon with its citrusy taste and sour cream with its creamy but tangy taste. But of course, when I finally tried it, it proved me wrong and instantly became one of the family’s favorites. Our family loves lemons. The zesty taste of lemon is different than that of other citrus fruits.

Lemon is more refreshing and that’s what we love about it. When I first made this lemon sour cream pie for my family (right after I test-tasted it of course), I knew it was going to be a hit. And I was right! My husband had about a couple of slices while my sons finished the ones on their plates.

And we all finished the full pie the next day. We all sat in front of the television and devoured the leftover pie that we kept on the fridge. Yes, it still tasted as good the next day! So if you want a copy of this amazing lemon sour cream pie for your family, don’t hesitate to click on the next page. You will find the full list of ingredients and instructions in there. Enjoy!

Quick Tip: This crust does not even have to be rolled out. You don’t need a rolling pin. Just use your hands to pat the crust into your pie plate.

Do you love nuts? I love nuts so much. It’s a private joke among my relatives that I probably became nuts because of eating nuts. Pun intended, of course. It’s a long-standing, good-natured joke among us. Ever since I was a kid, nuts have been my favorite things to nibble on. Whenever I eat dessert with nuts like nut-sprinkled donuts, I always made sure mine had extra. And I don’t love just one type of nut. I love everything! Now that I am a few years older, I still love nuts. I always find the excuse to add nuts on everything.

Whenever I make a cake for example, it has to have nuts around the frosting or just included on the cake itself. My husband finds it amusing, but he doesn’t tease me about it. He has his own food quirks and they’re worse than mine. And we never really made fun of anything about food because we don’t want our children to think that it’s okay.

This pecan pie bundt cake from Bake or Break is a classic example of how I want my desserts. It’s full of my favorite pecans and it’s just so addicting! I couldn’t stop with just one slice; I eat about three slices of this cake.

A full copy of this recipe can be found on the next page. Enjoy making this cake for your family! If they’re nuts about nuts, they’ll go crazy over this!

When I make a cake, I always make sure that my family will love it. It’s really different now. When I was younger and thoughts of having a family haven’t even reached my mind, I cooked for myself. Living with a few friends in an apartment during college was just that. We rarely even saw each other because we have part-time jobs and different class schedules. It was really more of a survivor thing going on back then. My priority now is my family.

As long as they appreciate what I make for them in the kitchen, I don’t really mind about other things. Seeing their happy faces as they enjoy the food is reward enough for me. It’s a different game though when it comes to large gatherings with relatives. You have to make sure that everyone will enjoy the dish that you prepare regardless of age and gender. Makes sense, right?

During last reunion, I was one of those assigned to make a dessert. Since I know what my relatives mostly like, I settled for a classic. I made this cinnamon roll cake that has the creamiest frosting. And everyone just wanted to have a piece! It was gone in minutes! I had to go back and make another one that we could serve for dinner.

Yes! It was that good. And if my family loved it, I know yours will too!
